In honor of "Earth Day," this post will not only be typed in green font, it will also be about "going green." To those that are rolling their eyes, muttering "here we go again," under their breath, I say this: You go green, you SAVE green. Under the guise of an environmentalist, I gleefully yank out wires from outlets, bundle myself up in layers and hop on the nearest light rail. The truth is, I do it for the cheddar. The paper. The eagle-eyed witch rock. The cash, money. So what if our climate temperature has dramatically increased: Gas is freaking’ four dollars!
I’m kidding. Kind of. While I do admit to hugging one or two trees in my lifetime, I’m more concerned about how my family can deal with the increasing price of, well…just about everything. No longer do we take five minute drives to our local grocery. Gone are the days of muting the television while we’re surfing the net. And now that there are recycling bins next to our trash cans, there’s no reason not to separate our trash. Like my mother tells me, "just because we can't do everything right, doesn't mean we shouldn't do anything right." So be it lover of money or trees (which are essentially the same thing anyway) let's be more conscious to save a little bit of both.
